Tag Archives: weekly photo challenge SUNSET

Due to the fact that my Daily Calendar, THE GEM COLLECTION, is in immediate need of additions, I am going to spend the afternoon doing just that. Sorting through images and verse and wisdoms. Meantime – Australian Poems to go with the Weekly Photo Challenge theme of SUNSET.

That’s enough for the first day in on the Challenge. I will check later in the weekend and see what SUNSETS people have come up with.

I leave you with this poem

Shared Sunset

by Jonathan Hill, Old Erowal Bay, NSW

Driving home along the old wool road
Not long now to our humble abode
The groceries from Bilo on the back seat
Beside the restless hungry dogs who are wet from the beach
A synchronised sigh as we peer up ahead
Clouds apricot gold sharply outlined in red
Bold columns of light explode through the clouds
that float amidst a lilac and smooth silver shroud
I reach for your hand our palms gently kiss
I truly do treasure moments like this. [1]
